City worker sues Grants City over hiring bias
Nova D Cornett, a Grants city employee and former fire chief, sues the city in U S District Court alleging civil rights violations and sex discrimination in the appointment of a full time fire chief. She claims she was most qualified but passed over for male rival Andrew Valencia after filing with EEOC. The suit requests a federal jury trial and follows a EEOC complaint filed more than 180 days earlier.

Fatal crash trail on I-40 near Grants New Mexico
Four people were injured and a man killed in a string of crashes along a 15 mile stretch of I-40 between Grants and Thoreau New Mexico. A moving van rollover blocked westbound lanes starting a chain reaction including a school bus rear end collision that killed 75 year old Dennis Lloyd Tucker of Arkansas. A tractor-trailer collision spilled up to 100 gallons of diesel prompting fuel cleanup. Traffic delays persisted for several hours until the road reopened.

Violent crime figures rise in Gallup McKinley schools
Gallup McKinley County Schools report 161 assaults and batteries this year up from 67 last year as a more standardized reporting system and increased involvement by security and police officers may explain the surge. Aggravated assaults and batteries lead with 127 cases, knives used by three students, and four using other weapons. No firearms were reported this year.
